A. Chen,Cheng Ling Kuo,Cheng Ling Kuo,Y. Lee,Han Tzong Su,Rue-Ron Hsu,Jyh-Long Chern,Harald U. Frey,Stephen B. Mende,Yukihiro Takahashi,Hiroshi Fukunishi,Yeou Shin Chang,Tie Yue Liu,Lou-Chuang Lee +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the global transient luminous event (TLE) distributions and rates based on the Imager of Sprites and Upper Atmospheric Lightning (ISUAL) experiment onboard the FORMOSAT-2 satellite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gigantic jets between a thundercloud and the ionosphere.
Han Tzong Su,Rue-Ron Hsu,A. Chen,Yun Che Wang,W. S. Hsiao,W. C. Lai,Lou-Chuang Lee,Mitsuteru Sato,Hiroshi Fukunishi +8 more
TL;DR: Observations of five gigantic jets that establish a direct link between a thundercloud and the ionosphere at 90 km elevation indicate that the extremely-low-frequency waves were generated by negative cloud-to-ionosphere discharges, which would reduce the electrical potential between ionosphere and ground.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global survey of upper atmospheric transient luminous events on the ROCSAT-2 satellite
Jyh-Long Chern,Rue-Ron Hsu,Han Tzong Su,Stephen B. Mende,Hiroshi Fukunishi,Yukihiro Takahashi,Lou-Chuang Lee +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an intensified CCD imager, a six-channel spectrophotometer, and two array photometers are mounted on a common platform and boresighted in the same direction.
Journal ArticleDOI
D region ionization by lightning-induced electromagnetic pulses
Stephen B. Mende,Harald U. Frey,Rue-Ron Hsu,Han Tzong Su,A. Chen,Lou-Chuang Lee,Davis D. Sentman,Yukihiro Takahashi,Hiroshi Fukunishi +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Imager of Sprites and Upper Atmospheric Lightning (ISUAL) instrument on FORMOSAT-2 was used to observe tropospheric lightning in the 80-90 km region above the lightning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electric fields and electron energies inferred from the ISUAL recorded sprites
Cheng Ling Kuo,Rue-Ron Hsu,A. Chen,Han Tzong Su,Lou-Chuang Lee,Stephen B. Mende,Harald U. Frey,Hiroshi Fukunishi,Yukihiro Takahashi +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the average and characteristic electron energies were found to be in the range of 6.2-9.2 eV and 4.5-6.5 eV, respectively, for five selected events, which were recorded by the ISUAL (Imager of Sprites and Upper Atmospheric Lightning; a payload on the FORMOSAT-2 satellite).
